To significantly improve your little darling's dental hygiene, brushing is essential. This is the only way to combat tartar, plaque, and all the resulting problems before they even appear. But you also need the right tools for brushing! An electric toothbrush is ideal. It saves you the tedious scrubbing inside your dog's mouth, as is the case with a manual toothbrush, which many more sensitive dogs don't like at all. But even among electric toothbrushes, there are differences that could be important for you and your four-legged friend.
The electric toothbrush
An electric toothbrush saves you a lot of work when brushing your dog's teeth, and its rotating motion thoroughly removes any plaque from your dog's teeth. With up to 20,000 movements per minute, the electric toothbrush reaches every tooth in your dog's mouth, making brushing much more pleasant for both you and your dog. You only have to brush the brush to the teeth, rather than using the harsh scrubbing motions you would with a manual toothbrush. Many dogs don't like having their mouths cleaned over large areas and possibly with too much pressure. The gentle movements of an electric toothbrush, on the other hand, are much easier for many dogs to tolerate. Interchangeable brush heads are also available, each adapted to suit large or small dogs.
Thoroughly cleaning and caring for a dog's teeth is made much easier with an electric toothbrush, as it's much easier to use and offers increased cleaning performance. However, some dogs react to the vibrations of an electric toothbrush and therefore refuse to be brushed. But there's a solution for these cases, too.
The electric toothbrush 2.0: The ultrasonic toothbrush
An ultrasonic toothbrush is the ultimate in dog dental hygiene. Not only does it clean your dog's teeth like a conventional electric toothbrush with up to 20,000 vibrations per minute, but it also does so silently and vibration-free with up to 96 million air vibrations per minute. Combined with the special ultrasonic toothpaste, which creates tiny, imploding bubbles, the ultrasonic toothbrush achieves extremely high cleaning performance. Unlike an electric toothbrush, it eliminates any brushing motions that could irritate your dog. Simply hold the ultrasonic toothbrush against your dog's teeth, and plaque will dissolve bit by bit. It also stimulates blood circulation in the gums, further promoting healthy oral flora.
So if you want to do something good for your dog, then reach for the emmi®-pet ultrasonic toothbrush and make teeth cleaning as pleasant and gentle as possible for him.
